The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Prince Rama and Yash as Ravana.
Malhotra said the story follows Lord Vishnu descending as a human to understand emotions and fulfill his duty.
Director Nitesh Tiwari emphasized the film balances grand visuals with emotional storytelling about sacrifice, revenge, love, and resilience.
